Efficacy of a Patient Education Video

July 17, 2015 updated by: Virginia Commonwealth University
Patients in the intervention arm will view the 23-minute video depicting the Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) experience. Patients in the control arm will receive HSCT frequently asked questions (FAQ) sheet developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Up to 12 months after HSCT
Change in number of hospitalizations
Time Frame: Up to 12 months after HSCT

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perception of satisfaction with the physician consultation
Time Frame: Up to 12 months after HSCT
The Physician consultation will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Communication Questionnaire (PSCQA). Participants are asked to rate their experience with the physician consultation. There are 17 items, 8 positively worded and 9 negatively worded. Each item is rated on a 5 point likert scale with 1 being strongly agree to 5 being strongly disagree. The maximum score on the PSCQ is 85. The measure takes approximately 4 minutes to administer.
